As the story has it, one day I headed to the opposite side of the globe – the Flipside. I arrived in Korea February 16th, 2005 and thought I’d do a year, then leave. I was wrong. I stayed, launched my first company, Flipside Fitness, and then opened Korea's largest boxing club, Hulk's Boxing (now called Hulk's Club).

After 11.5yrs in Korea, I then picked up one day and returned to Toronto, Canada. But then I left again.

Now I live in the Philippines where I am the CEO and head coach of Empowered Clubhouse, the Philippines' first and only boxing clubhouse exclusively just for women. I also am the founder of the Lil' Sistas Project, CEO and designer of Slay Gear and Baa Baa Black Sheep .Ph.

Spending Some Quality Time at the Club and Over Tea

See that on the left, a bottle of Ripped Fast by Universal Nutrition, and see that on the right, a website screen shot of me trying to buy it.  It reads "Due to regulations, this product is not allowed to be shipped to the country you selected", meaning Korea doesn't allow this item... makes me wonder if I would have got in trouble if they knew I was carrying it in my bag on the plane, woozers.
 How I spent a chunk of my day, watching a lecture online about how to naturally control your thyroid... because I'm a fitness geek like that and this stuff greatly interests me.
Also spent much of my time being annoyed by Team Nigeria's phone calls.
Notice the times here and note that this is only ONE screenshot of MANY calls they made!
Am seriously thinking about calling it quits on this.  They're ignoring my constant emails requesting their boxers' personal info for me to revise the sponsor letter.
Late in the evening a pleasant surprise made it's way to Hulk's... who else but the Korean Hulk (Snickers) with a massive Hulk statue that Wonder Boy had bought for us.
 Yuppers, we're crazy about everything and anything Hulk-related but this big guy is super awesome.  Word has it there's a massive Hulk at the local Emart; definitely have to get my hands on one that size but for now this one is super awesome!
 Headed out for a late evening date with Snickers.
 A green tea latte and a sweet tea for two. 
Thought it'd be fun to end our date with setting up some picture dublicates from a couple of years past here at Hulk's, to capture the differences.
(And yes, I did change into the same outfit from the first pic.)
 The juice bar used to be so naked but now it's loaded with clean eating menus, posters, a massive TV, and tons of extra clean eating info.
